Offshore East Africa Convention 2015


After decades operating in the shadow of North and West Africa, East Africa is emerging as one of the most significant players in the Africa offshore oil and gas industry. Subsequent gas discoveries offshore Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique have dramatically altered perceptions of East Africa, transforming it into an up-and-coming destination for extractive industry investment.

The US Geological Survey estimates that coastal areas of Tanzania and Mozambique alone could harbour more than 250 trillion cubic feet of gas in addition to a further 14.5bn barrels of oil. The success rate of companies looking for gas offshore is phenomenal: of the 27 wells drilled in the last two years offshore Tanzania and Mozambique, 24 have yielded discoveries. Compared with the heavily explored areas elsewhere on the continent, East Africa is practically virgin territory: by 2010, only 600 wells had been drilled, compared with 14,000 and 20,000 in West and North Africa respectively.

Exploration activity in East Africa is no longer solely the domain of oil and gas juniors. As the size and scope of the region’s reserves have become more apparent, so the interest of industry heavyweights has increased. Governments are anxious to attract the attention of international oil companies in addition to the steady flow of interest from juniors. The development of the sector does not only offer opportunities for upstream investors, and there is increasing focus on vital supporting infrastructure, including pipelines, refineries, port facilities and transport links.

Offshore East Africa Convention 2015 strives to provide a unique platform for all offshore Oil & Gas players to know about the prospects of the regional market to enter the East Africa offshore upstream business. We look forward to meeting you there!
